Well, as some users already know I have been advertising this anime for a short while. The truth is that I watched this anime when I was like 10 years old therefore I don't remember much is this series. I just remember that my friends my brother and I used to sit down to watch this series every afternoon at 4:00pm from Monday to Friday. This series was quite popular in South America.

Well, know that I have realized that this excellent web site has the series I didn't hesitate in downloading it, and all I can say is that I'm really surprised for how good this anime is (I just watched episode 13). This anime has very strong factors such as: A plot that embraces a lot of realism: There is no science fiction in this anime at all, it is all based on real French Revolution history. The music is excellent. The graphics are gorgeous (even though this anime is like 20 years old!!) It is a very emotional anime, it is full of envy, love, hatred, death, hope and everything else. The characters are very well developed, you really get to see how really human nature works in this anime. It is totally unpredictable; In one moment I'm like ok ok that right and then I'm like WTF! why did he do that?! and believe it or not this anime has made CRY! I haven't cry with anime in a long long time except when I watched Grave of Fireflies. Yeah it is that powerful... The best part is that I have cried of happiness. You become so involved in the story that you really get to worry about the characters fate. This anime is a classic.

I wonder if anybody else in this forum has seen this anime yet and what does he think about it?...

Here it is some info about the series (It is taken from another post of mine

http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/92.html
You should really consider watching this anime. This anime is based on the Frensh Revolution. The protagonist is Oscar, a woman who was raised as a man, due to the fact that her father always desired to had a man but never could. When she became 14 she joined the imperial guard that protected the king of france.

Then it only gets worse for her... Battles, love deceptions, romance and tragedy follow her path as she grows older... without mentioning the fact that she dies protecting the king and queen of France whom later were decapitated as it is known by Frensh history.

Please excuse me if I'm being very repetitive at times, but all I'm doing is trying to show to many people how good these "hidden" animes are. They are so old that they have been sent to oblivion. But the truth is that animes like this one are really worth watching and I know that there are many people who agree with me.

Guys YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE EVEN THOUGH I'M CRAZY AT THIS MOMENT BUT ROSE OF VERSAILES IS MUUUCHHHH BETTER THAN ANY OTHER REAL LIFE ANIME OUT THERE!! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME! *starts jumping and dronling making a lot of nice in his room* I JUST SAW THE EPISODES FROM 14 TO 19 AND THIS STUFF KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AND SADDER AND SADDER. MY GOD I HAVE CRIED FREAKING 4 TIMES IN ROW! (THIS HAS NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE IN MY LIFE TIME) THE PLOT IS SO CLEVER AND TWISTED THAT IT STRIKES YOU WITH GREAT FORCE! IT'LL BLOW YOU AWAY! THIS IS 12445934534 BETTER THAN GRAVE OF FIRE FLIES, SAIKANO AND KIMIGA NOZOMU EIEN... TRULLY AWESOME!!! @_@ *starts breaking stuff in his room* I JUST SAW THE ENDING OF KIMIGA NOZOMU EIEN BUT THIS IS NOT EVEN BITTERER THAN EPISODE 19 OF "ROV".

GUYS YES I'M A DAMN FREAK AN EMOTIONAL BASTART AND THAT SOME OF YOU WANNA CUT MY BALLS BUT I DON'T CARE!! JUST GO AND WATCH ROSE OF VERSAILLES UNTIL EP 19 AND CONFIRM WHAT I'M CRAZY ABOUT! *hears sirens outside of his house*

Excuse me for bumping an old thread, but I would just like to ask if anyone knows what the 1990 RoV movie is about?

I just had the chance of watching this recently and I am totally astounded by the story. I haven't cried so much since Hikaru no Go; the ending was so gut-wrenching painful to watch. Ah, thank you so much Live-Evil for subbing this masterpiece.

Having heard what a classic this series is meant to be, and having seen references/parodies in other series, I grabbed hold of Live-Evil's batch torrent and downloaded the lot.
So what can I say? Obviously, it's very much a thing of its time (1979-1980, I believe). Melodramatic, a bit campy, and OTT in parts. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
I did find myself thinking things like "Aha, that must be a bad guy. He has a villainous moustache!" and imagining the Animation Director standing over the animators saying things like "Sparkles! MORE Sparkles! GIVE ME MORE SPARKLES, DAMN YOUR EYES!!!"

After so much hype behind this classic, I decided to check it out and I was both disappointed and satisfied. Disappointed because it wasn't as nearly as good as I hoped it to be, but satisfied because it does pick up towards the end and has memorable characters and a strong story. But the most interesting thing for me was the setting. I mean, the time of French Revolution is still one of the most interesting thing you may find in history, and circumstances can bring out the worst in men and turn them into vultures. It also makes people's sacrifice and virtues shine. Light is only beautiful and bright under darkness after all. I think the show did well in capturing the state of that particular time period, although the validity behind the depiction of historical figures like queen antoinette is questionable. But I liked the show's fictional telling of the events.

I hope that re-make will proceed, since in my opinion, the show would benefit a lot from modern animation technique and more refined script. And this is just me, but I hated the shoujo element in the show. I hate those sparkling eyes and sparkling bubbles of light that shows how handsome and pretty characters are. I hate how the tears pool inside their eyes ridiculously everytime they are about to cry. And the melodrama especially at the beginning of the series, ugh. No wonder I hate shoujo.

Finished watching this great series, a little slow to begin with after the gloriously romatic first episode but really reaches full stride with style, around the episode 19 mark. I was watching it almost contiously by this point, desperate to find out what happens after each and every cliffhanger.

Now can someone please fansub the 1987 movie sequel 'I'll Love You As Long As I Live'.
